## The Culmination of About 8 Months of Challenges by 13 Teams
A wide variety of themes ranging from local issues in Shizuoka to social inclusion lined up, including 'IZUscape' which themed on local investment challenges and coexistence with travelers, 'Aster' realizing LGBTQ support via SNS, 'RforU' finding new value in school uniform reuse, 'Inazuma' proposing an electrician app for women, and 'BioLac' depicting a sustainable business utilizing milk. The sight of high school students passionately conveying their thoughts to adults in their own words enveloped the venue in loud applause numerous times. Many impressive moments were born, such as when the judges highly praised the meticulous research skills of 'SymLoop', which took on the challenge of recycling waste, as an "extremely good presentation," and when the entire venue was drawn into the enthusiastic pitch of 'DOD', which works on child-rearing support for foreign parents.
As a result of the judging, the Grand Prize went to the 'Inazuma' team, which proposed 'Mimosa Denki', an app matching female electricians with female clients. The Excellence Award went to the 'DOD' team, which proposed 'Omusubi', a child-rearing support service for foreign parents, and the 'IZUscape' team, which proposed a tourism app to explore trips to Izu through experiences and senses.
The winning students expressed their joy in tears, commenting, "We are truly happy to receive such a wonderful award. We are grateful to everyone who has been involved, including those who cooperated with our research in the process leading up to today. Thank you very much."
